I lived and worked in Oman. I did this by choice. I was paid well. Prior to moving to Oman I knew their rules. It is their nation and their rules. If you do not like it do not go there.

Oddly as a Christian I could buy alcohol at a government store. Do not, Do not, Do not sell it to a Muslim.

I object to a Muslim trying to impose their ideology on my nation, most do not. I also object to other nations trying to impose their cultural norms on Muslim nations.

Technically, Qatar told FIFA they would allow alcohol. I still would have been sceptical.

I'm sure there will be some morons who will violate the rules, get caught, and then whine to their embassies to rescue them. It wouldn't be the first time, nor will it be the last.

Agreed. When in other countries, abide by their laws and customs.

You should see the lefty Karens and liberal neckbards yelling about this on social media. What a bunch of cowards. Not a single one of them has left for Qatar to protest.

“It is their nation and their rules. If you do not like it do not go there”.
Ordinarily I would agree, but I think Qatar made this announcement just 2 days before it all starts instead of being up front about it from the start. People already have invested time and money to go there. It kind of feels like a bait and switch situation.
